Buts Quotes (page 827)

A sum can be put right: but only by going back till you find the error and working it afresh from that point, never by simply going on. C. S. Lewis
Johnny Depp quote: "[on buying a private island] Money doesn't buy you happiness,..."
[on buying a private island] Money doesn't buy you happiness, but it buys you a big enough yacht to sail right up to it. Johnny Depp
Stephen Hawking quote: "The idea of 10 dimensions might sound exciting, but they would..."
The idea of 10 dimensions might sound exciting, but they would cause real problems if you forget where you parked your car. Stephen Hawking
I could do without my warhorse; I could drag about in a skirt; I could let the banners and the trumpets and the knights and soldiers pass me and leave me behind as they leave the other women, if only I could still hear the wind in the trees, the larks in the sunshine, the young lambs crying through the healthy frost, and the blessed blessed church bells that send my angel voices floating to me on the wind. But without these things I cannot live; and by your wanting to take them away from me,... George Bernard Shaw
There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own. Nobody. You built a factory out there—good for you. "But I want to be clear. You moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for. You hired workers that the rest of us paid to educate...Part of the underlying social contract is you take a hunk of that and pay forward for the next kid who comes along. Elizabeth Warren
Will was not without his intentions to be always generous, but our tongues are little triggers which have usually been pulled before general intentions can be brought to bear. George Eliot
Henry David Thoreau quote: "There are nowadays professors of philosophy, but not..."
There are nowadays professors of philosophy, but not philosophers. Henry David Thoreau
Tell me", he wanted to say, "everything in the whole world" - for he had the wildest, most absurd, extravagant ideas about poets and poetry - but how to speak to a man who does not see you? who sees ogres, satyrs, perhaps the depth of the sea instead? Virginia Woolf
Stephen King quote: "It's only a little secret, but having a secret makes me feel..."
It's only a little secret, but having a secret makes me feel better. Like a human being again. Stephen King
Madeleine L'Engle quote: "You're given the form, but you have to write the sonnet..."
You're given the form, but you have to write the sonnet yourself. What you say is completely up to you. Madeleine L'Engle
Well--there it was, and the fault was doubtless neither hers nor his, but that of the world they had grown up in, of their own moral contempt for it and physical dependence on it, of his half-talents and her half-principles, of the something in them both that was not stout enough to resist nor yet pliant enough to yield. Edith Wharton
I believe the road to hell is paved with adverbs, and I will shout it from the rooftops. To put it another way, they're like dandelions. If you have one on your lawn, it looks pretty and unique. If you fail to root it out, however, you find five the next day ... fifty the day after that ... and then, my brothers and sisters, your lawn is totally, completely, and profligately covered with dandelions. By then you see them for the weeds they really are, but by then it's--GASP!!--too late. Stephen King
There is nothing in the world that is not mysterious, but the mystery is more evident in certain things than in others: in the sea, in the eyes of the elders, in the color yellow, and in music. Jorge Luis Borges
...wherever the strength of a faith steps decisively into the foreground, we infer a certain weakness in its ability to demonstrate its truth, even the improbability of what it believes. We, too, do not deny that the belief “makes blessed,” but for that very reason we deny that the belief proves something—a strong belief which confers blessedness creates doubts about what it has faith in. It does not ground “truth.” It grounds a certain probability— delusion. Friedrich Nietzsche
A real education takes place, not in the lecture hall or library, but in the rooms of friends, with earnest frolic and happy disputation. Stephen Fry
